L'aura del Campo

King of Hearts

King of Hearts

Ruth looked at the cards spread
on the table, knew they offered no hope,
no wisdom guiding me through my dilemmas.

And no money, past, present, future.
The King of Hearts sat at the center
begging me to hold on, to be patient.

For there was no love this side of the horizon,
but someday... someday I'd learn to let go,
get a grip on my senses, let someone climb
over my fences, let someone love me,
allow myself to love them in return

Notes:
Prompt was "Desperado"
My tarot card is the King of Hearts:
no fame, no money, no conquest.
Based on a real tarot card reading... years ago.
